Housing development is on hold
I have made further enquiries and while the application is technically still active, Rother’s officers are sure that the developer Countryside has no wish to pursue the development.
As I said at the Assembly, this does not mean that the designation of Blackfriars will change, and Blackfriars is still allocated as land for housing – as it has been since the 1970s.
